QUESTION: no, it's all clean. That's what's so confusing - everything looks fine.

Answer
Generally, when you have a problem like this, it is either the carb or the coil. It cant be the ignition, since it is just a on/off switch and doest control how hot the spark is. Since you havent made any changes to the carb I would  be inclined to think it is the coil. The only other thing is the coil is breaking down when it gets hot and failing.
